[0004]

However, when a large number of photo originals are spliced and wound into a roll, handling is not limited to the step of splicing a large number of photo originals, but also a large number of spliced photo originals. It requires a process of disassembly into individual pieces, which requires a large amount of work and a shortest time before shipping, and during that time, it is simply wound up in a roll shape, so dust and scratches etc. There is a problem that it is easy to stick. In addition, there is a problem that not only is it easy to cause dust and scratches when handled naked, but also if it is handled in large quantities, it becomes difficult to grasp which photo original is which one.

[0005] In view of the above, a photographic document storage container capable of winding and storing a plurality of photographic documents without joining them was conceived. Then, a photo document storage container for automatically storing a photo document in a photo document storage container capable of storing a plurality of photo documents without joining them and sending out the stored photo document is set. A photographic document storage device and a photographic document sending device having a setting section to be set are considered. However, it has been found that there is a problem specific to the photo document storage device and the photo document transmission device for such a photo document storage container.

For example, shortening the life of the drive source or shortening the life of the photo document container in the photo document feeder It is.

[0007] When the cause is investigated, such a photo document storage container can store a plurality of photo documents, so that the photo document storage container is set or taken out of the photo document storage device or the photo document sending device. Timing is
It has been found that the following problems occur because the timing does not coincide with the timing of accommodating a photo original in the photo original container or taking out the photo original from the photo original container. First, a drive for storing a photo document in the photo document container often occurs without setting the photo document container in the photo document storage device. The problem is that the document is sent to the position where the photo document container is set while the document is naked. Second, it often occurs that the photo document storage container set in the photo document storage device does not have room to store the photo document, and the drive for storing the photo document in the photo document storage container often occurs. There are problems such as shortening the life of the storage container, forcing the photo original to be stored in the photo original storage container, making it impossible to automatically remove the original, causing the worst case, and causing jams on the way. Third,
Without setting the photo document storage container in the photo document sending device,
The drive for taking out the photo original from the photo original storage container often occurs, which causes a problem such as shortening the life of the drive source. Fourth, the drive for taking out a photo manuscript from the photo document storage container often occurs while no photo document is stored in the photo document storage container set in the photo document sending device. There are problems such as shortening the life of the source and shortening the life of the photo document storage container.

An object of the first invention is to reduce the life of a driving source in a photo document storage device, or to send a photo document to a position where a photo document storage container is set with the photo document naked. Is to prevent it from occurring.

A second object of the present invention is to shorten the life of a photo document storage container in a photo document storage device or to forcibly store a photo document in a photo document storage container so that it cannot be automatically taken out. Problems such as damage or jamming on the way may be prevented.

A third object of the present invention is to prevent a problem such as shortening the life of a drive source in a photo original sending apparatus.

A fourth object of the present invention is to prevent problems such as shortening the life of a driving source and shortening the life of a photo document container in a photo document sending apparatus. .

In the conventional spliced photographic original, the timing of setting or taking out the spliced photographic original coincides with the first or last timing of continuously sending the photographic original. In the method of handling photo originals, even if a photo original storage container is used, the timing for setting and removing the photo original is determined by the time when the photo original is stored in the photo original storage container or At the same time as the timing for taking out the image, and the above-described problem is less likely to occur.

And the first roller 21 supported by the front arm 23 and the rear arm 24 can rotate about shafts 42 and 44. Also, the first roller driving gear 41
The rear end of the shaft 44 is rotatably held in a hole (not shown) provided in the container body 11 via a torque limiter (not shown), so that the first roller driving gear 41 and the first roller 21 It is rotated by vibration or the like to prevent the belt-shaped material 20 wound around the first roller 21 from becoming loose. Further, the first roller 21 is urged toward the third roller 45 between the front arm 23 and the rear arm 24 by a spiral spring (not shown) wound around the shafts 42 and 44.

When the photographic document is taken up together with the band 20 wound around the first roller 21 as a shaft, a front arm 23 for pressing the front surface of the first roller 21, a rear arm 25 for pressing the rear surface, and a guide for pressing the rear surface. 29 guides the photo original so as to be wound at a predetermined position.

The second roller 31 is a roller for holding one end of the belt-like material, winding it up, and accumulating it. The second roller 31 is made of a plastic material containing carbon black, and has a conductivity (10 ⁻⁵ [Ω ⁻¹ · cm ⁻¹ ]).
Above). A cylindrical shaft passes through the center of the second roller 31, and a shaft 32 is provided in front of the cylindrical shaft, and a shaft 33 is provided behind the shaft.
Are protruding (FIG. 4). The shaft 33 of the second roller 31 is rotatably held by a hole provided in the concave portion 12 of the container body 11. Also, the shaft 3 of the second roller 31
Numeral 2 is rotatably held in a hole (not shown) provided in the container body 11 via a torque limiter (not shown), and the second roller 31 is rotated by vibration or the like, and is wound around the second roller 31. The band-shaped material 20 is prevented from rolling around. The shaft 33 of the second roller 31 penetrates through the concave portion 12 of the container main body 11 and fixedly fixes the drive transmission gear 34 so that the drive transmission gear 34 rotates together with the second roller 31. (Fig. 7).

In the state before accommodating the photographic original shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the belt-shaped object 2 having the second roller 31 as an axis is used.
By forming the scroll 35 of 0,
To accumulate. That is, an accumulation unit is formed. At this time, the guide 38 for pressing the front surface of the scroll 35 and the guide 39 for pressing the rear surface of the scroll 35 prevent the bamboo shoot winding (the winding of the wound material that shifts in the axial direction) when the scroll 35 is formed. I have.

The third roller 45 supports the belt-shaped object so that it can pass through. The first roller 21 and the third roller 45 are formed into an S-shape (in FIG. This is for winding the belt-like material in an S-shape when viewed from the opposite direction. The third roller 31 is made of metal (stainless steel) and has a conductivity (1.4 × 1).
0 ⁴ [Ω ^-1 · cm ^-1 ]). A cylindrical shaft passes through the center of the third roller 45, and a shaft 46 protrudes forward of the shaft and a shaft 48 protrudes rearward thereof (FIG. 4). The shafts 46 and 48 of the third roller 45 are rotatably held by holes (not shown) provided in the container body 11. The positions of the shafts 46 and 48 of the third roller 45 can be shifted in the vertical direction, and the nip springs 47 and 49 apply a predetermined force to move downward (to the nip roll 61 side of the apparatus) in FIGS. Pressed. This is for nipping a photo original with a predetermined force. (Because the roller on the side transmitting the driving force is nipped by the predetermined force, it is difficult to transmit the predetermined driving force while its position can be shifted in the vertical direction.) In particular, the third roller 45 rotates as it rotates as the belt passes.
Shafts 46, 48 and nip springs 47, 49
A material having a small friction with the container body 11 on the side pressed by 48 is selected.

The strip 20 has conductivity (10 ^-5 [Ω ^-1 · cm ^-1 ] or more) by being formed of fibers containing conductive particles (carbon black, metal particles, etc.). However, since the strip 20 has conductivity, it is difficult to use a material having a particularly high strength. But,
According to the present invention, since the photo original is not stored, the photo original is not sent, or the photo original is not accommodated because there is no room for accommodating the photo original. The second roller 31 even though there is no object 20
It is possible to attempt to further wind the band 20 on the first roller 21 even when there is no band 20 wound on the second roller 31. Without being forcibly pulled,
The belt-shaped material 20 may come off from the first roller 21 or the second roller 31, or an excessive force may be applied to the belt-shaped material 20.
Can be prevented from growing or breaking.

Then, one end is held by the first roller 21, and the other end is held by the second roller 31, between which the metal roller 37, the metal roller 40 and the third roller 45 hang. Since these rollers are held by the metal roller 37, the metal roller 40, the third roller 45, the first roller 21 and the second roller 31 having conductivity, it is difficult to be charged. This prevents the original from sticking to the band 20 and discharging. The metal roller 37 and the metal roller 40, as shown in FIG.
A guide groove having a width of 0 is dug and has a small friction with the belt-shaped material 20 and is fixed to the container body 11.

The band-shaped object 20 has a mark 71 for detecting a state before the photographic document is stored, and a maximum amount corresponding to one order (a long photographic original having a maximum length corresponding to one order). (A larger amount necessary for accommodating a plurality of short photographic originals corresponding to one order and an amount necessary for accommodating a plurality of short photographic originals at intervals) or more. A mark 72 (shown in FIG. 11) for detection is provided. This mark is a highly reflective silver mark.
In the case of 0, portions other than the mark are formed in black with low reflectivity. Then, by forming carbon black into the belt-like material 20, it is possible to simultaneously achieve the formation of black with low conductivity and low reflectivity.

The guide 29, the guide 39 and the guide 3
8 is integrally formed of metal by bending, is joined to the back surface of the container body 11 by a joint 19, and the bent portion between the guide 39 and the guide 38 and the side surface of the container body 11 (FIG. 7 left side surface).

The container 1 is provided with a first roller 2
The photographic document 7 is formed by the outermost periphery of the band 20 wound by the first roller 1 and the band 20 wound by the first roller 21.
, And the photographic document 7 is wound and accommodated by winding the belt-shaped material 20 with the first roller 21. FIG. 8 is a partially enlarged schematic view of the photograph document container 1 and FIG. 9 is a partially enlarged center sectional view of the photograph document container 1 in a state before accommodating the photograph document. FIG. 14 is a partially enlarged center cross-sectional view of the photo document storage container 1 in a state in which the photo document is stored in a substantially maximum amount. The third roller 45 has a guide groove of the width of the photo document 7 dug, and the position of the photo document in the width direction is conveyed at a predetermined position. Further, the first roller 21 is provided such that the axial direction thereof is parallel to the axial direction. Thereby, the belt-shaped material 20 that has passed through the third roller is wound around the first roller 21 without being twisted.

The guide 16 has a guide surface of the photo original 7 along the third roller 45 and guides the photo original 7 toward the sandwiching position. Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the main container 1 is used to unwind the belt-shaped material 20 wound by the first roller 21 and to feed out the photographic document 7 wound and stored. Are guided to the exit.
This is because, as described later, the sandwiching position 10 for sandwiching the photographic document 7 between the outermost periphery of the strip 20 wound by the first roller 21 and the strip 20 wound by the first roller 21 is substantially constant. Can be done from

Next, a state in which the maximum amount of photographic originals is stored will be described with reference to FIGS. In this state, the strip 20 is wound by the first roller 21 to form the scroll 28. The first roller 21 supported by the front arm 23 and the rear arm 24 is
4 can rotate around the first roller 2.
1 is urged in a direction in contact with the third roller 45, and the first roller 21 including the shaft 22 is shown in the figure from the shaft position 22b before the photo document is accommodated, as shown by the arrow. By moving to the position, the sandwiching position where the photographic document 7 is sandwiched between the outermost periphery of the strip 20 wound by the first roller 21 and the strip 20 wound by the first roller 21 becomes substantially constant.

Since the first roller 21 supported by the front arm 23 and the rear arm 24 rotates about the shafts 42 and 44, the guide 29 avoids the passage of the first roller 21. It has a constricted shape. In the state where the maximum amount of the photographic document is stored, no band-like material is stored in the storage unit, and the second roller 31 is exposed.

Next, the photo document storage device 5 for storing the photo document 7 in the storage container 1 will be described. FIG. 15 shows a schematic configuration diagram of the photo document storage device 5.

In the setting portion 8 of the photo document storage device 5, a set detection member 10 provided at a predetermined position on the bottom surface of the photo document storage container 1 is set at a corresponding position. A detected member insertion portion 73 is provided. A set detection member 70 is provided at a position corresponding to the set detection member 10 of the predetermined photo document storage container 1 on the bottom of the set detection member insertion portion 73.
Then, the photo document storage container 1 is inserted into the photo document storage device 5.
When set in the set section 8 which is a predetermined set position of
By detecting the set detection member 10 of the photo document storage container 1 with the set detection member 70, it is determined whether the photo document storage container 1 is set in the setting section 8 of the photo document storage device 5 so as to be able to store the photo document. Then, the condition of the photo original stored in the photo original storage container 1 is detected. Since the set detection member is provided in the recessed set detection member insertion portion 73, the set detection member 70 is set in the photo document storage container 1 unless the photo document storage container 1 is set correctly so as to be able to be stored. The detected member 10 cannot be detected.

The set detecting member 70 controls the photo document container 1 so that each of the detected portions of the set detected member 10 of the photo document container 1 can be correctly detected as a conductive portion or a non-conductive portion. The photo document accommodating device 5 is set in the setting section 8 which is a predetermined setting position. The photo document accommodating container 1 is brought into contact with each of the detected portions of the set detected member 10 provided at a predetermined position on the bottom surface of the container 1. And a conduction detecting member. The conduction detecting member may be a two-terminal type conduction detecting member, such as a detecting member of a CAS section of a high-end camera. The conductive detection members are arranged in three rows and six columns, similarly to the detected members 10A to 10R.

The conductive detecting members at the positions corresponding to the detected parts 10A, 10B and 10C at both ends of the three detected parts at the ends (upper ends in FIG. 3) are connected to the three detected parts at the upper end. When it is detected that the conductive portion is conductive only between the detected portions 10A and 10C at both ends and not conductive to the central detected portion 10B, the photo document storing container 1 is correctly set in the photo document storing device 5 so that the photo document can be stored. Detect that it has been done.

Then, based on the detection result of whether the other detected parts 10D to 10R are conductive parts or non-conductive parts, detected by the conductive detecting members at the positions corresponding to the other detected parts 10D to 10R. Then, the condition of the photo original stored in the photo original storage container 1 is detected. Note that these conductivity detecting members do not conduct electricity from the other, and since the protective frame 13 of the photo document container 1 is also non-conductive, it does not conduct from other members of the photo document container 1. .

In the normal operation mode, based on the detection result of the set detecting member 70, the photo document storage container 1 is correctly set in the photo document storage device 5 so that the photo document can be stored, and the photo document 7 to be stored is stored in the photo document storage device 5. If the container 1 satisfies the conditions for the photo original to be stored, the photo original 7 is stored in the photo original storage container 1.

The photo document storage container 1 is a photo document storage device 5
When the photo document is properly set so as to be able to accommodate the photo document, the first roller driving gear 41 protruding from the hole 15 provided in the photo document container 1 meshes with the driving gear 66, and the apparatus-side nip roll 61 The third roller 45 enters the hole 14 provided in the document container 1 and is pressed against the third roller 45 by shifting the position of the third roller 45 upward against the force of the nip springs 47 and 49. Therefore, the device-side nip roll 6
1 also receives a driving force from the third roller 45. The drive transmission gear 34 is in a free state.

A drive motor (not shown), which is a drive source of this mechanism, is connected to a drive gear 66. The driving gear 66 is the first roller driving gear 41 shown in FIG.
In the direction of the arrow of FIG.
Will be wound up. Further, a drive wheel 67 fixed to the drive gear 66 coaxially with the drive gear 66 is provided.

The device side nip roll 61 is meshed with a reverse rotation gear 62. When a one-way clutch is provided between the reverse gear 62 and the reverse gear wheel 63 provided coaxially with the reverse gear 62, and the rotational speed of the reverse gear 62 is lower than that of the reverse gear wheel 63. Is slipped between the reverse gear 62 and the reverse gear wheel 63.

The belt 60 is connected to the reverse gear wheel 6.
3 and the drive wheel 67. At this time, the belt 60 rotates in the apparatus and is rotatably held by guide rolls 64 and 65 so that the belt 60 is tensioned by a predetermined tension.

Then, when the photographic document 7 is fed as shown in FIG. 15 by the transport drive rollers 68 and 69 for feeding the photographic document 7, the drive motor drives the drive gear 66 and the like in the illustrated rotation direction, and The document 7 is stored in the storage container 1.

In this way, a large number of photographic originals are accommodated in order. In addition, the photo document storage device 5 is provided with an optical sensor 81 on the side surface thereof, and marks 71 and 72 provided on the strip 20 from the transparent side surface of the photo document storage container 1 set in the setting section 8. Can be detected by the detection light 80. When the optical sensor 81 detects the mark 72 provided on the strip 20, it is in a state in which a predetermined amount of a photo document equal to or more than the maximum amount corresponding to one order cannot be stored in the photo document storage container 1. It is detected that the container 1 has no room to accommodate the photo original. When it is detected that the photo document housing container 1 has no room to store the photo document, a sound is produced by a speaker (not shown) and a display is provided on a display unit (not shown) in order to prompt the user to remove the photo document container 1. You. This predetermined amount is an amount necessary to accommodate the longest long photographic original (39-shot photographic film) and all the short photographic originals belonging to one order requiring the longest pass. It is more than the larger amount.

Note that the transport drive rollers 68 and 69 (corresponding to transport means for transporting the photo original to the photo original storage container)
Is less than the minimum winding speed of the photo document container 1 for winding the photo document 7, the photo document 7 is conveyed by the conveyance driving rollers 68 and 69.
Is always lower than the take-up speed at which the photographic document container 1 winds the photographic document 7,
The photo document 7 is prevented from being broken between the photo document storage containers 1 and 8 and 69. The take-up speed at which the photo document container 1 takes up the photo document 7 is the speed of the photo document taken up by the belt-shaped material 20 taken up by the first roller 21, and is taken up by the first roller 21. Strip 20
In the present embodiment, the third roller 45 and the apparatus-side nip roll 61 that rotate corresponding to the belt-like material 20 wound by the first roller 21 also rotate at this winding speed.

Since the ratio of the winding speed to the conveying speed increases as the belt-like material 20 is wound on the first roller 21, the ratio of the winding speed to the conveying speed is detected so that the photographic document can be converted. You may make it detect whether there is room to accommodate.

Further, a photo manuscript belonging to one order is
In the case of a long photographic document, there is one photo document, and in the case of a short photographic document, there are a plurality of photo documents. In this embodiment, all photo documents belonging to one order are in one photo document container. Put in one. For that purpose, there is the above-mentioned mechanism. Thus, regardless of the order, photographic documents belonging to one order are stored in a single photographic document storage container without being stored in a different photographic document storage container. The photo document can be stored in the photo document container.

Next, the photo original 7 stored in the storage container 1
Will be described. The photo original sending device 6 is connected to the printer processor 4. FIG. 16 shows a schematic configuration diagram of the photo document sending device 6 for taking out the photo document 7 stored in the photo document container 1.

In the set portion 8 of the photo document sending device 6, a set detection member 10 provided at a predetermined position on the bottom surface of the photo document container 1 is set at a corresponding position. A detected member insertion portion 73 is provided. A set detection member 70 is provided at a position corresponding to the set detection member 10 of the predetermined photo document storage container 1 on the bottom of the set detection member insertion portion 73.
Then, the photo document storage container 1 is connected to the photo document sending device 6.
When set in the set section 8 which is a predetermined set position of
By detecting the set detection target member 10 of the photo document storage container 1 by the set detection member 70, it is determined whether or not the photo document storage container 1 is set in the setting section 8 of the photo document sending device 6 so as to be able to store the photo document. Then, the condition of the photo original stored in the photo original storage container 1 is detected. Since the set detection member is provided in the recessed set detection member insertion portion 73, the set detection member 70 is set in the photo document storage container 1 unless the photo document storage container 1 is set correctly so as to be able to be stored. The detected member 10 cannot be detected.

The set detecting member 70 controls the photographic document housing container 1 so that each detected portion of the set detected member 10 of the photographic document housing container 1 can be correctly detected as a conductive portion or a non-conductive portion. The photo document sending device 6 is set in the setting section 8 which is a predetermined setting position. The photo document receiving container 1 is set at a predetermined position on the bottom surface of the photo document housing container 1 so as to come into contact with each detected portion of the set detected member 10. And a conduction detecting member. The conduction detecting member may be a two-terminal type conduction detecting member, such as a detecting member of a CAS section of a high-end camera. The conductive detection members are arranged in three rows and six columns, similarly to the detected members 10A to 10R.

The conductive detecting members at the positions corresponding to the detected parts 10A, 10B, and 10C at both ends of the three detected parts at the ends (the upper end in FIG. 3) are connected to the three detected parts at the upper end. When it is detected that the conductive portion is conductive only between the detected portions 10A and 10C at both ends and not conductive to the central detected portion 10B, the photo document storage container 1 is correctly set in the photo document sending device 6 so that the photo document can be stored. Detect that it has been done.

The detection results of whether the other detected parts 10D to 10R are conductive parts or non-conductive parts, detected by the conductive detection members located at the positions corresponding to the other detected parts 10D to 10R, are shown. Then, the condition of the photo original stored in the photo original storage container 1 is detected. Note that these conductivity detecting members do not conduct electricity from the other, and since the protective frame 13 of the photo document container 1 is also non-conductive, it does not conduct from other members of the photo document container 1. .

In the normal operation mode, based on the detection result of the set detecting member 70, the photo document storage container 1 is correctly set in the photo document transmission device 6 so as to be able to store the photo document. If the condition of the photo document to be processed matches the condition of the photo document accommodated in the photo document container 1, the photo document 7 is sent from the photo document container 1.

The photo document storage container 1 is a photo document sending device 6
When the photo original is properly set so as to be able to accommodate the photo document, the device-side projection 79 is inserted into the concave portion 12 of the container main body 11, and meshes with the drive transmission gear 76 and the drive transmission gear 34 provided on the device-side projection 79. Also, the device-side nip roll 61
It enters through the hole 14 provided in the photographic document container 1, and shifts the position of the third roller 45 upward in FIG. 16 against the force of the nip springs 47 and 49, and comes into pressure contact with the third roller 45. The first roller driving gear 41 is in a free state.

A drive motor (not shown), which is a drive source of this mechanism, is connected to the drive gear 62. The drive gear 66 rotates the apparatus-side nip roll 61 in the direction of the arrow in FIG.
Is rewound, and the photo document 7 stored therein is sent out. Further, a drive wheel 67 fixed to the drive gear 66 coaxially with the drive gear 66 is provided.

The drive transmission gear 76 has a reverse rotation gear 7.
7 are engaged. The reverse gear 77 and the reverse gear wheel 78 provided coaxially with the reverse gear 77.
And a one-way clutch is provided between the
When the rotation speed is lower than that of the reverse gear wheel 78, the vehicle slips between the reverse gear 77 and the reverse gear wheel 78. The belt 60 is stretched between the reverse gear wheel 78 and the drive wheel 67.

Then, when the drive motor drives the drive gear 66 and the like in the illustrated rotation direction to take out the photographic document 7 from the photographic document storage container 1, the photographic document 7 is conveyed by the transport drive rollers 68 and 69 for sending out the photographic document 7. 7 is sent out as shown in FIG. At this time, the device side nip roll 6
The delivery speed of the photo original 7 sent out of the photo original storage container 1 by the driving of the first roller 1 and the third roller 45 rotated by the apparatus side nip roll 61 is constant due to uneven rotation of the third roller 45 rotated by the apparatus side nip roll 61 and the like. No, but within a certain speed range. The transport speed of the photographic document 7 by the transport drive rollers 68 and 69 is the sending speed of the photographic document 7 sent out of the photographic document container 1 by the driving of the apparatus-side nip roll 61 and the third roller 45 rotated by the apparatus-side nip roll 61. Is set so as to be equal to or higher than the maximum speed, the transport speed of the photographic document 7 by the transport drive rollers 68 and 69 is constantly controlled by the driving of the apparatus-side nip roll 61 and the third roller 45 rotated by the apparatus-side nip roll 61. It is higher than the sending speed of the photographic document 7 sent out from the photographic document container 1.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the photographic document 7 sent from the photographic document storage container 1 from being broken between the photographic document storage container 1 and the transport driving rollers 68 and 69.

In this way, a large number of photo originals stored in order can be sent out in exactly the reverse order. In addition, when the photographic original is stored, the photographic document is fixed while being sandwiched between the belts 20 by the winding tension of the belt 20, so that the order in which the photographic documents are stored does not change.

FIG. 17 is a schematic configuration diagram of the entire conveyance path of the photographic document sending device 6. The printer processor 4 includes an imaging unit that sequentially captures the sequentially transmitted photo originals, a printing determination unit that determines a printing condition based on the image captured by the imaging unit, and a printing condition determination unit that determines the printing original from the photo original captured by the imaging unit. A printing unit for printing on a photosensitive material for printing (photographic paper, printing film, etc.) under the determined printing conditions, and a developing unit for developing the photosensitive material for printing printed by the printing unit in an integrated structure. Have The photographic document 7 sent from the transport drive rollers 68 and 69 is sent to the second transport drive rollers 86 and 87 via the guide 88, and is sent to the imaging unit by the second transport drive rollers 86 and 87. Then, the transport drive rollers 68 and 69 and the second transport drive roller 8
The intervals 6, and 87 are set shorter than the minimum length of a photo original that can be processed by the photo printing apparatus, and all the photo originals that can be processed by the photo printing apparatus can be conveyed. An accumulation unit 89 is provided above a part of the conveyance path between the conveyance driving rollers 68 and 69 and the second conveyance driving rollers 86 and 87.
Since the size of the photo original 7 in the accumulating portion 89 is large enough to accumulate the maximum length of the photo original 7 that can be processed by the photo printing device, Any photographic original 7 that can be produced can be accumulated.

When the transport drive rollers 68 and 69 and the second transport drive rollers 86 and 87 are rotating, the transport speed of the photographic document 7 by the transport drive rollers 68 and 69 is
Since the moving speed of the photographic document 7 moved by the second transport driving rollers 86 and 87 is equal to or higher than the maximum speed, the transport speed of the photographic document 7 by the transport driving rollers 68 and 69 becomes
Since the speed is always higher than the moving speed of the photographic document 7 moved by the second transport driving rollers 86 and 87, the photographic document 7 can be accumulated in the accumulation section 89.

A first optical sensor 83 for detecting a photographic document and a light source 82 for the first optical sensor 83 are provided in front of the transport driving rollers 68 and 69.
A second optical sensor 85 for detecting a photographic original document is provided before 6, 87.
And a light source 84 for the second optical sensor 85.
The first optical sensor 83 and the second optical sensor 85 detect the presence or absence of a photo original at each position. Then, at the time when both the first optical sensor 83 and the second optical sensor 85 change from the state of detecting the absence of the photo document to the state of detecting the presence thereof, the front end of the photo document in the transport direction is changed. Then, the rear end of the photographic document in the transport direction is detected at the time when the state of detecting the presence of the photographic document is changed from the state of detecting the presence of the photographic document to the state of detecting the absence thereof. Then, based on the detection results of the first optical sensor 83 and the second optical sensor 85 and the acceptability information which is information as to whether or not the imaging unit can receive a new photo original, the photo original stored in the storage container 1 is determined. The drive of the drive mechanism (take-out mechanism drive motor) (not shown) of the mechanism for taking out the sheet 7, the drive rollers 68 and 69, and the second drive rollers 86 and 87 is controlled.

That is, when the second optical sensor 85 detects the trailing end of the photo original 7, the drive mechanism driving motor and the transport driving rollers 68 and 69 are driven, and the next photo original stored in the photo original storage container 1 Photo manuscript 7 sent to
Send out. Then, the second optical sensor 85 detects the photographic document 7
When the front end is detected, the second transport rollers 86 and 87 are driven. At this time, if the reception permission / prohibition information is negative, the second transport rollers 86 and 87 are stopped after the predetermined time α has elapsed.
Then, the second transport rollers 86 and 87 are kept stopped until the reception permission information becomes available, and when the reception availability information becomes available, the second transport rollers 86 and 87 are driven again. If the second optical sensor 85 detects the front end of the photographic document 7 and the reception propriety information is acceptable, the second transport rollers 86 and 87 are driven as they are. It should be noted that the predetermined time α is such that the front end of the photo original is moved from the position of the second optical sensor 85 to the second transport driving roller 8.
This is a predetermined time that is equal to or longer than the time before being sandwiched between 6, 87.
When the first optical sensor 83 detects the trailing edge of the photo document, the take-out mechanism drive motor is stopped, and after a predetermined time α has elapsed, the transport drive rollers 68 and 69 are stopped. The predetermined time α is a predetermined time that is equal to or longer than the time required for the rear end of the photo document to pass through the transport driving rollers 68 and 69 from the position of the first optical sensor 83. The above control is repeated as described above.

In this way, a large number of photographic originals are sent out in order. In addition, the photo original sending device 6 is provided with an optical sensor 81 on a side surface thereof, and marks 71 and 72 provided on the strip 20 from the transparent side surface of the photo original storage container 1 set in the setting section 8. Can be detected by the detection light 80. When the optical sensor 81 detects the mark 71 provided on the strip 20, it detects that the photo document container 1 does not contain a photo document. When it is detected that no photo document is stored in the photo document container 1, a sound is generated by a speaker (not shown) prompting the user to remove the photo document container 1, and a display is provided on a display unit (not shown).

The rotation speed ratio between the reverse rotation gear 77 and the reverse rotation gear wheel 78 increases as the belt-shaped material 20 is wound around the second roll 31.
By detecting the rotational speed ratio between the wheel 7 and the reverse gear wheel 78, it may be detected whether or not the photo document is not stored. In addition, when the belt-shaped material 20 wound around the first roll 21 disappears, the reverse gear 77 does not rotate, so that this state can be detected.

Further, a torque limiter is provided to the transport drive rollers provided in the photo printing apparatus, including the transport drive rollers 68 and 69 and the second transport drive rollers 86 and 87, and when a torque greater than a predetermined torque is applied, slip occurs. Thus, a tension higher than a predetermined tension is not applied to the photo original. Of course, a one-way clutch may be used instead of the torque limiter.

Further, in the photographic document storage container 1 of the present embodiment, the torque limiter is used to prevent the belt-shaped material 20 from being loosened, but a one-way clutch may be used instead of the torque limiter.

Although the normal operation mode of the photo document storage device 5 and the photo document sending device 6 of the present embodiment has been described, a special operation mode for coping with a special operation and a failure mode other than the normal operation mode. For example, there may be a failure handling operation mode for performing the maintenance, a maintenance handling operation mode for performing the maintenance, and the like. In these special operation modes, the failure handling operation mode and the maintenance handling operation mode, even if the photo document storage container 1 is not set correctly in the setting section 8 or the photo document storage container 1 has no margin, the photo document storage container 1 Even if a photo document is not accommodated in the camera, it may be driven.
